You gotta understand A lot of our grandparents couldn’t go to school. They had to start working as a teen. Our parents were first generation OR depending on the circumstances of the family WE were first generation to graduate things. High school, college. My mother was one of those elementary school kids on the news getting spit on, rocks thrown, yelled at in the face by grown ass people - first generation of de-segregation. Many, like her oldest sibling and my dad, left to the military soon as they hit the age of eligibility (16 or 17 with a parent signature). My mom was first generation to goto college. She got a perfect score on her finals, and they said no black girl could have scored that high. They made her retake a HARDER exam. She still passed. Her roommate in college was an immigrant from West Africa and they talked about a lot of the things you’re saying. Her roommate was murdered while attending classes in the US. So, yeah, graduating HS or University was like a source of pride. Racism wasn’t just water fountains and bus seats - it effected every aspect of life. Of course, there was racism in Jamaica, Nigeria, etc too… but in Jamaica, Nigeria, Black is the majority. Also, those countries form of colonialism was more hands off. Them British dudes wasn’t running up on your school with guns and stones lol. Everybody’s standards are set by expectations, and your expectations are set by your perception of what is realistic / attainable for You. My grandparents valued education just as much as any immigrant parents, BUT.. realistically the mentality was One step at a time. Just get through grade school. Graduate High School. Try to get into a “good” college. Graduate college. Try to get a “good” job. Try to get a career with “good” benefits (a pension plan). Etc etc. Ultimately, yes, it was family structure that made it all possible. You had to go off to college with whatever lil bit of money the family could scrape together and hopefully someone had a second / third hand suitcase. But, that was also before the crack era………

America only respects entrepreneurship.Ill rather make 3 million a year establishing Vlad tv than making 300k being a doctor or scientist.Most immigrants don't originate from a culture of entrepreneurship and mostly emphasize on higher education as the main root to success.
@@triplebeans4159 Except that you're not making 3 Million a year and only a few percentage of Americans make that dream a reality. You waste your time chasing a fairy tail, a jay-z story only to end up being poor and not making anywhere close to what a doctor, lawyer, makes a year simply because you want a million dollar dream. This is a stupid mentality, no everyone is going to be making millions in our society, there's nothing wrong with being middle class and an average citizen being able to take your kids to College and making sure they have a good future, this is why many black Americans drop out of college, not because their parents can't afford the fees but because of this mentality, undermining regular professions looking down on other people and only to end up having a worse life than that doctor, dentist, lawyer or teacher.

Buju Banton made a whole song called "Deportees" about all of the Jamaicans that come to America and then get deported back to Jamaica for criminal activities. It happens so much he had to write a song about it. SMH
LOL...thats not what the Song is really about though... you must not understand Jamaican patoise or Jamaican culture. The song is about those Jamaicans who go to "Foreign" and are not responsible with their money, its about those who did not support friends and family "Back Home". The song is mostly chastizing those that left Jamaica and never looked back until they got deported...its really an admonishment of those who forgot where the came from and weren't wise enough to also build up a foundation "back a yard".... that's actually the main theme of the song..
What people fail to realize in this type of argument is that, immigrants usually some of the best brains/ driven people who *chose* to leave their respective countries to look for greener pasture. Coming to America is an upgrade so they do whatever they can to make the best of it. Comparing that small sample size with the rest of the population is quite unfair.

Bro... Born and Raised Nigerian here 🇳🇬 and the Highschool shit hit him for me because my first year in the US, I got to attend a Highschool graduation with a friend of mine, his sister was graduating. Till this day, I will never understand why 1) All the parents of the kids actually attended like graduating highschool was a big deal and 2) Said parents were hollering and crying when their kids walked to receive their diploma. It's almost like they didn't expect their kids to make it to graduation. Back at home, graduating highschool is like the "natural next step" honestly. I actually asked my parents not to attend mine because why stress them for something that unimportant?
It actually is a big deal for parents watching their kids take their last step of childhood, and first steps into adulthood. They are seeing the kid that they have raised, loved, and cared for the last 18 years go out into the real world.
I don't understand why attending a high school graduation would be stressful. Parents go to their children's kindergarten graduations knowing they'll go on to the first grade. It's just loving on and celebrating your children. Nothing wrong with that.
Alot of great americans throughout history were 1st generation born americans meaning their parents were immigrants who installed that hardwork and keep improving yourself mentality in their children
Poverty has levels and dimensions wherever you find it. No matter third or first world nor first or third generation. Both of my parents were US natives with deep psychological damage worlds apart. I get what shade they are uniting to throw but the fact of the matter is positive vs negative mindset is the hugest factor. Case and point: When you are in middle school and your history teacher encourages you to apply to specialized high schools for a better chance to see a successful college career but your struggling single parent deters you by deciding “smart white students” are the only ones built for that, it can have a negative impact to say the least. But I’m sure they both are taking shit like that into account…yes?
His mom worked hard while work 3 jobs and became a teacher, his other brother worked hard and went college worked hard. They all worked hard. Dope interview 💯
Majority of the people in this world would be absolutely astatic to sleep on a sofa. What immigrants will never understand our struggle, these people literally think money is our issue. If money was the problem, black people would have been out of this position a long time ago. Our issues are all mental and phycological.........
I agree its a mindset we have been bred into but its also and excuse for our culture. Everything is culture over government or anything else in our community that hinders growth. People in general are sheep, but if you dont improve a culture youre more likley to find most of the sheep will only regress instead of progress , with only the few who having the ambition to go on to doing better things within that culture. The human mind has more control over enviroment than enviroment has over the mind, its just when youre conditioned at an early age to allow your neuro to be more connected to distractions, like pleasures, quick fixes etc that we allow more excuses for the reason we are held back lack racism discrimination etc. All that stuff exist but thats not the main reason we are held back. You can have two individuals who were raised in the same harsh conditions and one can still turn out successful, thats becase some peolle bave learned how to use pain and pleasure instead of having it us them. Once you do that you can accomplish anything and if you dont life will always have control over you.
@@bakie9201 The government is made up of citizens. They are doing to each other. That is not a good excuse. America is killers also and have killers in the street.
@@FieldGeneralCTC Understandable but it is different. In the US when cops are killed there are ceremonies in the streets and it becomes nation wide news. In the Caribbean police get killed before the roosters get through town waking everyone up in the morning no cap. Just a different society and world overall compared to the US. So when we see opportunity we TAKE it.
Why even have those majors available if they aren’t going to make you any real money? THATS THE SCAM!! paying 50k to school but my major is going to depend on my success in life. Instead of “I went to college, paid for college, finished college and cleared my debt because I finished college” it’s a rip off dude. Those lower wage careers shouldn’t b on a 50k a semester campus. It doesn’t add up.
What type of question is that? U shouldn’t be allowed to study certain subjects if u can’t make a lot of money with them? People make their own choices stop thinking everything is a conspiracy dude
thats such a dumb question.... most people don't stop at those majors and want to continue on doing masters degree and phd's thats where the real money is at.. furthermore there are people that learn those subjects just for the sake of it. Why not gain theoretical knowledge? Im in law school rn and did sociology, and political science previously... you have no idea how much it helped me.
Yeah. That is the Prevailing attitude among most Black Americans if even. "Just graduate Highschool". For Immigrants, Thats what your suppose to do like going to the bathroom when you need too!
you didnt struggle with nothing stfu already you FBA puss ies love crying such a disgrace to your ancestors fam all these got damn opportunities & you’re still broke just excuse
Say what you want about AK, but he is a hard worker and had non stop determination. His success isn't a surprise. Salute to this brother ‼️‼️💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾🔑💡
Everyone knows this is not the mindset of all native bron americans to have only a minimum ambition to succeed or that all immigrant who come here are destine to succeed. but the difference between immigrants when it comes to wanting to succeed and americans who want to succeed is americans are groomed at a young age with more pleasure and distractions, along with trends, while immigrants focus more or opportunities, a lot of us take for granted along with being self sufficient with everything else being secondary. There are american families who raise their kids to think like hard working immigrants, but in general our society has brainwashed us to think this way and thats what also make us easier to control "pleasure before hardwork." The immigrant mindset is no different than americans who grow up in poverty in america. Though american poverty has more resources and less obstacles to get out of their condition compared to immigrants its still a trap that is set for people in those conditions to fail. But want seperates the few in poverty compared to the few in middle class who have a will to succeed is the people poverty have been bred with thicker skin and a harder upbringing to not only want to get out of those conditions but being more prepared to navigate through obstacles that can only be taught through human interactions and not in schools.
Most immigrants don't agree with the black Americans victim mentality. They look down at welfare programs and all this bullshit. No offense, but the hustle is different and we take responsibility.
@@triplebeans4159They just wanna limit illegal immigration which ain't all that wrong tho. Ppl around the world deserve an fair chance. And Latinos esp are more conservative than you think. They want more police since most of them ran from cartels.
@@ryansmithc During trump's reign there was a bill floated by 2 senators in the congress than wanted to get rid of DVlottery programme and reduce immigration by half in general.They also wanted to reduce the number of foreigners that could access H-1B visas.Alot of the rhetoric around trump was blaming immigrants for taking jobs from american as well as globalists shifting jobs to other countries.Latinos are culturally conservative but vote democrat in large numbers for obvious reasons.Youre successful in america that provides the same opportunities to white trump supporters and blacks so why are you creating excuses for those white failures?
@@triplebeans4159 I mean that's just the realities of America in 2022. Automation will destroy low wage jobs in the next decade, inflation is high ASF, housing is mad expensive and lots of cities are packed. I get that immigrants wanna come , but he got voted in cause people want the country to improve first before inviting more people in. Ppl thought Biden was better, but now everyone even worse off. Trump wanted to invite immigrants based on merit and not by lottery, family or etc. European cointries are also feeling that same effect. Immigration system gotta get reworked eventually. He was mad at illegal immigrants, not all immigrants. Republicans love immigrants for cheap labor. Globalism and the globalist did kill manufacturing and the middle class...so he's right. Ever since Clinton signed the trade deal in the 90s, the country has been regressing. We don't make anything anymore and so much of our money is outside the country. They sacrificed so many middle class jobs so companies could get rich. Immigrants was eventually gonna hit a wall. Republicans will get more of the Latin vote in the next election cause of the rising crime rates in blue states. Even in places like Florida, they finna get the Cuban votes cause ppl ain't happy now. We just gotta accept that America ain't when our parents came here. Now immigrants got no chance unless they come in on merit and got good paying jobs. Back then you could get a taxi job, or a dishwasher. Buy a crib and then move up. Now you are screwed. My dad would have never survived
@@ryansmithcAmericans had no problem with illegal immigrants and other immigrants until it started affecting white people that's all.The reality is that most immigrants are willing to dirty their hands and worked their way to the top while a certain section of the population think they are above certain jobs and are owed something by account of their status in america.Alot of immigrants that came here on DVlottery have become merited by their sheer hardwork and success,not some pointless metrics that even trump's parents didn't adhere to.Globalists are a product of failed republican economic policies of Ronald Reagan and once the conservative elite realised what they have create monster corporations that could just pick up and leave,they shifted the blame to immigrants and china for their political survival.Democratic cities have always had high crime rates and they still remain democratic cities.Immigration,not crime has and will always been the main issue for Latinos and we all know that those that voted for trump are latinos with a socialist background.A record number of Americans are leaving their work place so this myth that there is no jobs is just that otherwise People wouldn't still be flocking to america legally or illegally.
If your "hustle mentality" is so strong how come you can't go to Russia or Jamaica and be successful. Wasn't his mom cleaning up shit with 4 jobs yeah very successful Uber driver.
I hope these guys trully understand that " regular American minorities " pretty much do the same thing verbatim.. and we don't expect anything more or less because we are not foreign
I just don’t get how immigrants can have all this homeland pride but couldn’t make it in their country. Immigrants need to pay a tax to black Americans
Because immigrants that came here were the ones that were driven, ambitious and had some sort of a plan. Look at people that relocate in the US, its usually for a job and they usually have some type of plan and its ambition that put them in that position

Vlad is right. It has to do with family and culture. Americans need to push for more higher education. STEM, Lawyers, Business
America only respects entrepreneurship.Ill rather make 3 million a year establishing Vlad tv than making 300k being a doctor or scientist.Most immigrants don't originate from a culture of entrepreneurship and mostly emphasize on higher education as the main root to success.
Wer u from, so I can tell you what yall need to work on...
@@triplebeans4159 Except that you're not making 3 Million a year and only a few percentage of Americans make that dream a reality.
You waste your time chasing a fairy tail, a jay-z story only to end up being poor and not making anywhere close to what a doctor, lawyer, makes a year simply because you want a million dollar dream.
This is a stupid mentality, no everyone is going to be making millions in our society, there's nothing wrong with being middle class and an average citizen being able to take your kids to College and making sure they have a good future, this is why many black Americans drop out of college, not because their parents can't afford the fees but because of this mentality, undermining regular professions looking down on other people and only to end up having a worse life than that doctor, dentist, lawyer or teacher.

Very interesting dialogue in this video and comments.
Buju Banton made a whole song called "Deportees" about all of the Jamaicans that come to America and then get deported back to Jamaica for criminal activities. It happens so much he had to write a song about it. SMH
LOL...thats not what the Song is really about though... you must not understand Jamaican patoise or Jamaican culture. The song is about those Jamaicans who go to "Foreign" and are not responsible with their money, its about those who did not support friends and family "Back Home". The song is mostly chastizing those that left Jamaica and never looked back until they got deported...its really an admonishment of those who forgot where the came from and weren't wise enough to also build up a foundation "back a yard".... that's actually the main theme of the song..
What people fail to realize in this type of argument is that, immigrants usually some of the best brains/ driven people who *chose* to leave their respective countries to look for greener pasture. Coming to America is an upgrade so they do whatever they can to make the best of it. Comparing that small sample size with the rest of the population is quite unfair.
Damn AK said sum real ish at the end there.
Idk about most but I come from every negative stereotype America has places on our community and I just made the conscious decision last year to make an effort to take my family out of that. The legit way.
You can always take that hustle mentality back home and improve your own country. Oh my bad. Your country is trash. That's why you're here.

Bro... Born and Raised Nigerian here 🇳🇬 and the Highschool shit hit him for me because my first year in the US, I got to attend a Highschool graduation with a friend of mine, his sister was graduating. Till this day, I will never understand why 1) All the parents of the kids actually attended like graduating highschool was a big deal and 2) Said parents were hollering and crying when their kids walked to receive their diploma. It's almost like they didn't expect their kids to make it to graduation. Back at home, graduating highschool is like the "natural next step" honestly. I actually asked my parents not to attend mine because why stress them for something that unimportant?
It actually is a big deal for parents watching their kids take their last step of childhood, and first steps into adulthood. They are seeing the kid that they have raised, loved, and cared for the last 18 years go out into the real world.
I don't understand why attending a high school graduation would be stressful. Parents go to their children's kindergarten graduations knowing they'll go on to the first grade. It's just loving on and celebrating your children. Nothing wrong with that.

Dumbest thing a I read since 2020
@@movingon2actionableitems755 facts
Alot of great americans throughout history were 1st generation born americans meaning their parents were immigrants who installed that hardwork and keep improving yourself mentality in their children
most "american inventors are 1st 2nd or 3rd generation.
Poverty has levels and dimensions wherever you find it. No matter third or first world nor first or third generation. Both of my parents were US natives with deep psychological damage worlds apart. I get what shade they are uniting to throw but the fact of the matter is positive vs negative mindset is the hugest factor.
Case and point: When you are in middle school and your history teacher encourages you to apply to specialized high schools for a better chance to see a successful college career but your struggling single parent deters you by deciding “smart white students” are the only ones built for that, it can have a negative impact to say the least. But I’m sure they both are taking shit like that into account…yes?

What immigrants will never understand our struggle, these people literally think money is our issue.
If money was the problem, black people would have been out of this position a long time ago.
Our issues are all mental and phycological.........
Exactly
But he is implying that if he is stating its a mindset.
I agree its a mindset we have been bred into but its also and excuse for our culture. Everything is culture over government or anything else in our community that hinders growth. People in general are sheep, but if you dont improve a culture youre more likley to find most of the sheep will only regress instead of progress , with only the few who having the ambition to go on to doing better things within that culture. The human mind has more control over enviroment than enviroment has over the mind, its just when youre conditioned at an early age to allow your neuro to be more connected to distractions, like pleasures, quick fixes etc that we allow more excuses for the reason we are held back lack racism discrimination etc. All that stuff exist but thats not the main reason we are held back. You can have two individuals who were raised in the same harsh conditions and one can still turn out successful, thats becase some peolle bave learned how to use pain and pleasure instead of having it us them. Once you do that you can accomplish anything and if you dont life will always have control over you.

Why even have those majors available if they aren’t going to make you any real money? THATS THE SCAM!! paying 50k to school but my major is going to depend on my success in life. Instead of “I went to college, paid for college, finished college and cleared my debt because I finished college” it’s a rip off dude. Those lower wage careers shouldn’t b on a 50k a semester campus. It doesn’t add up.
What type of question is that? U shouldn’t be allowed to study certain subjects if u can’t make a lot of money with them? People make their own choices stop thinking everything is a conspiracy dude
CHOICES
thats such a dumb question.... most people don't stop at those majors and want to continue on doing masters degree and phd's thats where the real money is at.. furthermore there are people that learn those subjects just for the sake of it. Why not gain theoretical knowledge?
Im in law school rn and did sociology, and political science previously... you have no idea how much it helped me.

Yeah. That is the Prevailing attitude among most Black Americans if even. "Just graduate Highschool". For Immigrants, Thats what your suppose to do like going to the bathroom when you need too!

Everyone knows this is not the mindset of all native bron americans to have only a minimum ambition to succeed or that all immigrant who come here are destine to succeed. but the difference between immigrants when it comes to wanting to succeed and americans who want to succeed is americans are groomed at a young age with more pleasure and distractions, along with trends, while immigrants focus more or opportunities, a lot of us take for granted along with being self sufficient with everything else being secondary. There are american families who raise their kids to think like hard working immigrants, but in general our society has brainwashed us to think this way and thats what also make us easier to control "pleasure before hardwork." The immigrant mindset is no different than americans who grow up in poverty in america. Though american poverty has more resources and less obstacles to get out of their condition compared to immigrants its still a trap that is set for people in those conditions to fail. But want seperates the few in poverty compared to the few in middle class who have a will to succeed is the people poverty have been bred with thicker skin and a harder upbringing to not only want to get out of those conditions but being more prepared to navigate through obstacles that can only be taught through human interactions and not in schools.
Exactly 💯
A whole lot of generalizations. The numbers do not support anything you are saying.
Most immigrants don't agree with the black Americans victim mentality. They look down at welfare programs and all this bullshit. No offense, but the hustle is different and we take responsibility.
Black Americans aren't the ones fighting immigrants,white conservatives are the ones that don't want you here and want to limit your numbers.
@@triplebeans4159They just wanna limit illegal immigration which ain't all that wrong tho. Ppl around the world deserve an fair chance. And Latinos esp are more conservative than you think. They want more police since most of them ran from cartels.
@@ryansmithc During trump's reign there was a bill floated by 2 senators in the congress than wanted to get rid of DVlottery programme and reduce immigration by half in general.They also wanted to reduce the number of foreigners that could access H-1B visas.Alot of the rhetoric around trump was blaming immigrants for taking jobs from american as well as globalists shifting jobs to other countries.Latinos are culturally conservative but vote democrat in large numbers for obvious reasons.Youre successful in america that provides the same opportunities to white trump supporters and blacks so why are you creating excuses for those white failures?
@@triplebeans4159 I mean that's just the realities of America in 2022. Automation will destroy low wage jobs in the next decade, inflation is high ASF, housing is mad expensive and lots of cities are packed. I get that immigrants wanna come , but he got voted in cause people want the country to improve first before inviting more people in. Ppl thought Biden was better, but now everyone even worse off. Trump wanted to invite immigrants based on merit and not by lottery, family or etc. European cointries are also feeling that same effect. Immigration system gotta get reworked eventually. He was mad at illegal immigrants, not all immigrants. Republicans love immigrants for cheap labor. Globalism and the globalist did kill manufacturing and the middle class...so he's right. Ever since Clinton signed the trade deal in the 90s, the country has been regressing. We don't make anything anymore and so much of our money is outside the country. They sacrificed so many middle class jobs so companies could get rich.
Immigrants was eventually gonna hit a wall. Republicans will get more of the Latin vote in the next election cause of the rising crime rates in blue states. Even in places like Florida, they finna get the Cuban votes cause ppl ain't happy now. We just gotta accept that America ain't when our parents came here. Now immigrants got no chance unless they come in on merit and got good paying jobs. Back then you could get a taxi job, or a dishwasher. Buy a crib and then move up. Now you are screwed. My dad would have never survived
@@ryansmithcAmericans had no problem with illegal immigrants and other immigrants until it started affecting white people that's all.The reality is that most immigrants are willing to dirty their hands and worked their way to the top while a certain section of the population think they are above certain jobs and are owed something by account of their status in america.Alot of immigrants that came here on DVlottery have become merited by their sheer hardwork and success,not some pointless metrics that even trump's parents didn't adhere to.Globalists are a product of failed republican economic policies of Ronald Reagan and once the conservative elite realised what they have create monster corporations that could just pick up and leave,they shifted the blame to immigrants and china for their political survival.Democratic cities have always had high crime rates and they still remain democratic cities.Immigration,not crime has and will always been the main issue for Latinos and we all know that those that voted for trump are latinos with a socialist background.A record number of Americans are leaving their work place so this myth that there is no jobs is just that otherwise People wouldn't still be flocking to america legally or illegally.
